A volunteer writes: The first thing that Henry did when I took him out of his kennel was reach up and give me a full body hug – paws wrapped around my hips, head burrowed into my chest – gently and with love. Once we hugged, he wagged his tail, and out we went. He relieved himself immediately on the street indicating that he may be housetrained. Henry has a beautiful brindle coat and is the perfect weight for his size. He makes eye contact with his beautiful amber eyes and my heart just melts. Henry has lots of positive energy, thrilled to be out on a warm morning, enjoying the outdoors. He continued to give me hugs during our walk (I do admit I encouraged it as he is just so darn huggable!). When I sat on the bench to take some notes, Henry placed his upper body in my lap for more hugs, and tried to roll over (in my lap!) for a belly rub. Cute watching him trying to figure out the logistics of that maneuver!! Henry’s feet show signs of being crated too long by his previous owner. Henry is young, has energy and will do best with an active family. Come meet his most huggable boy in Manhattan today.
